Yes and no. Yes it does use that and a helper module might work, but it's entirely too much (it uses a lot of things, not just SIP). What it does use however, is Universal Plug N Play. And EVERY single feature of Windows and MSN Messenger uses UPnP, except the phone call thing. Voice/Video, Remote Assistance, File Transfer (MSN 5.0 and up) and whiteboard, all the others work with a UPnP IGD. I'm actually the author, and started this trying to make a helper module, but this was actually the more correct way to deal with it. -----Original Message----- From: Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk [mailto:roy@karlsbakk.net] Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 12:57 PM To: Glover George Cc: cuigl@ilion.bio.sunysb.edu; netfilter@lists.netfilter.org Subject: Re: msn voice chat As far as I'm concerned, MSN telephony, and voice chat, uses SIP, not h.323, and SIP also needs a helper module the same way as pptp, ftp, irc etc roy On Tuesday, December 31, 2002, at 07:34 PM, Glover George wrote: > No you need this, > > http://linux-igd.sourceforge.net.
